Prime Day is coming... and while I can't add
"patience" or "extra recess" to my Amazon cart, I can add a few fun things to help my students this year!
If you're shopping the sales and feel like spreading a little classroom magic, l'd be so grateful for any support. My Amazon Teacher Wish List is linked below — every pencil, decoration, and organizational bin helps set the stage for an awesome year.
No pressure at all - but if you're feeling generous (or just want an excuse to shop guilt-free) my students and I appreciate it more than you know!

This week, as the number of confirmed measles cases rose to 483, the CDC buried a report that would’ve stressed the importance of getting vaccinated.
The move was “not normal at all,” one agency staff member said.

The CDC Buried a Measles Forecast That Stressed the Need for Vaccinations
